Description
I love being close to nature and connecting through movement, whether that's through hiking, trail running, swimming, yoga, free diving, scuba diving... if it's a way of connecting to a new ecosystem I'll try it.

I am both an extrovert and an introvert, I enjoy connecting with people, sharing, and learning about different cultures! But also appreciate solitude and silence, and love to travel solo.

I consider myself an environmentalist and make a great effort to live a life that aligns with my values. I am vegan and have lived a plastic-free lifestyle for four years now. It stems from my deep love for the Earth and all living beings in it.

I studied Psychology in university and focused in the study of consciousness from a neuroscientific and philosophical perspective. I am now studying a Masters in Philosophy in Dublin, Ireland.

I have also worked as a hiking/trail running guide, an operations and project manager, a Science teacher for children, and English teacher, and a Spanish-English translator.

I have volunteered for many years in different sectors, with NGO's such as TECHO in Mexico and Dominican Republic, Merazonia in the amazonian Ecuador and International Animal Rescue in Borneo, Indonesia.

Left by host (Explore an area steeped in ...) for Workawayer (Ana Lucia)

Ana Lucia was an easy and delightful person to share my house and space with. She was able to appreciate the land and to take pleasure in the tasks that were needing doing. She was able to get on with these tasks intelligently and with minimal direction. She had an intuitive sense of what would be helpful and set about cooking dinner without being… read more

Oh what a wonderful and heartwarming stay I had with Imogen!

She's an incredible woman, and from our first chat I knew I had to meet her. I stayed for a week, but it felt like longer - it was deep time, not the fast-paced chronological time we get forced into. I felt welcome from the start, and knew we would understand each other well.

Imogen… read more

My time with Áine was rich and inspiring. She is a wonderful woman to know; lively, strong, poetic and generous. Even though I only stayed with her for four days (due to a change of plans), I learned a lot from her, her garden, and about Irish language and music. She showed me beautiful places around county Sligo and we had very interesting… read more

I've been meaning to do this for quite a while! :). It was a genuine please to have Ana to stay. I can safely say that she is one of the most incredible women I have had the pleasure of meeting while also being incredibly easy going and down to earth. Ana put a great deal of time and effort into the project we were working on and now every time I… read more

What can I say! My experience with Theo has been unbeatable. Right off the bat, he was clear, communicative and friendly. Always sharing his expectations while being open and flexible.

I arrived to Dublin without a clear plan, just a few days before starting a one-year Masters, and couldn't have landed at a better spot... Theo was helpful,… read more
